Large maple tree section - need your thoughts

[Slowhand]

My swmbo was thinking of me the other day when she took it upon herself to bring home (two) three foot diameter maple cross sections. Approximately 4 inches thick. I thanked her profusely as a good husband should do when his wife goes to such extraordinary effort to please her man. I then proceeded into the shop to look at them and wonder "what the hell am I gonna do with these"? The only thing I can think of is to make a table or a huge clock. Neither of which appeal to me now.

I welcome any thoughts on your creative ideas... SH

cut them into squares, turn end-grain up, glue together and make one helluva chopping/cutting block.

The disks are dry as a bone and have a little hairline crack in a couple of areas (nothing bad). SH

Just curious but why end grain up for a chopping block? I always thought that was a bad idea. How bigga squares do I cut them into? SH
